Band of the Day: Dead Acid People

French stoner rock band Dead Acid People dropped us a trippy little line recently and agreed to answer our in-depth BotD questions, including the most thorough list of kit used that we’ve yet received! Don’t take this as a challenge…

Simple things first – where are you guys from?

Paris, France.

How did you meet?

Stéphane (guitar) was looking for a drummer to form a band. He met Guillaume (drums) by posting an announcement. Then Stéphane asked his friend Alain (bass) to join. 1½ years later (Aug 2016) and Mathieu, a friend of Alain & Stéphane, joined the band as the singer.

How long have you been playing as a band?

The band was formed in early 2014.

Before you get sick of being asked… where does the band name come from?

It comes from the movie The Sixth Sense, when the boy says “I See Dead People”. It first became Acid Dead People… then Dead Acid People.

Keep on with French live shows, once a month at least, and write new stuff, potentially for an EP. Three songs are almost done as of today.

If you were second on a three-band bill, which band would you love to be supporting and which band would you choose to open for you? A chance to plug someone you’ve toured with, or a mate’s band we’ve not heard of before!

Kyuss as headline… with the original line-up! And our friends from Qilin as opening band. They are reeeeally good.
